Jump to: navigation, searchShoofly pie (or shoo-fly pie) is a molassespie considered traditional among the Pennsylvania Dutch and also known in Southern cooking.
The term "shoo-fly pie" first appeared in print in 1926.[1] The name is commonly thought to arise from the fact that the molasses in the pie is so attractive to flies that they have to be constantly "shooed" away.[2]

I'm sorry, I thought your thread was about foods from/associated with the Southern Cuisine --- Not foods people in the South eat. --- Day in and day out there are more Egg Rolls eaten in the South than Shoo Fly Pie in 6 months. No one would ever associate Egg Rolls with the Southern Repetoire of foods......I don't think.

How about --- Mint Juleps

OK. Maybe not southern, UB. I stand corrected.
But growing up and taught the song, "shoofly", we were taught it was "southern".
To tell the truth, I wouldn't know what it was if I tripped over it.
Pecan pie, I know.
